A time- boDorrd paxim, however, teaches as that there are exceptions to ererj general rule, and we now claim the- benefit of that "ex ception." In few words, we most positively declare that, without anj, the least bit of "flatter-" to oar humble elf, we solemn1 belie re that we hare nothing of the faviPry in'onr com position that wbi'e we do use an "umbrella" on a warm or wet daj, we never "drop in? to ascertain what oar neighbor has for dinner or to pick up aoj lit'le talk about him or his concerns that if tvrint or trina were looked for bj anj. of oar neighbor's family, and he was . rewarded bj an abortionywe hold be nasonically ilent as silent s oar Worth.

Saturday we find the following: Our purpose k. if we eai do so with a strict an3 je4ous I h- 8outh-ra n'ehu, o continue to co-ori- , erate with the national Democratic party ; because we blive that the preservation and the Ascend ency of that party ar indinpnsable to a constitu tional perpetuation of th Union. Our oj.inion is that weea cmtlnue thus toco-operate; but the rtc in both sections matt act with prudeno wtw?Q this and the Ctkarlston Convention, and in that body, to render this co-operation certain and successful. ; . , This language warrants the opinion that the writer is not at all eertaia whether he "will, or will not, support the Charleston nom inee. Things mast be conducted in a cer tain way between now .and the meeting of the Convention "to render the co-operation of the Standard ''certain and succesf uL" Scqar axd Molasses. We call the at tention of merchant, and others desiring to purchase by the wholesale to the advertise ment of Mesrs. Hathaway & Co., of Wil mington, offering for sale large quantities of sugar, molasses, coffee, &o. It is well known to merchants that Wilmington is a far better maiketro purchase the articles mentioned than any of the more northenTcities, and the Uoiwe of HatRway & Co is probably tie oldest in the city. f n. Walker was at Havana on the u take parage for AsjinwalL 10th inst, EXCES'IVELY CKUEL. . ; . rj A few days ago the Standard, in reply to a suggestion by the Wilmington Journal of the name' of Senator Uammond, of South Carolina, among others,' as suitable perrons for the nomination of the Democrat'0 party ' J for the Presidency, objected to Senator EL, si - . w i ' a saying that on account of a speecn,aiircrea by him in the Senate aome year or so ago, in wbieb he epeke of the Northern working men as "white slaves, he would not be able to command, 'he support of single Northern State. Ia the same article, the Standard took occasion to suggest the names of several others,among them Senator Johnson, of Ten nessee, lauding bim to the skies on account of bjs having once been a "poor tailor,' Ac. The Journal, in reply, spoke of Johnfon as a "demagoge," and very plainly told the Stand ard that it would not support such a man as him. The Standard rejoiced ia a long and elaborate article, in which it affected great sympathy for th working man. The Journal come back at the Standard in an article full of cruel satire. We quote: "There is no reaon en earth why Andrew Ljohoson should be any the worse or any the better. for having i"-n a btilor, or being a tailor now. It has pttways appeared to us. that there is no great tr pride than M thaf. mock humility that is eon ttantly rrrrri. ig to Us humble origin, and contrast ing it with its present putiturti. If it were not pround of that position it it did not set a high value upon it did nut regard H a something very superior inJn-d to tat in which it started, it would not be always exhibiting such a fidgety ff-eontcioun. It would Hot I J ways be, in effct, saying '-See how I have risen. 1 was once only a working-man ; now look at me ; I em a big man now; J am A Senator," or something of the kind. Thin sort of thing we depise." . Now, when it h remembered that Citizen II olden occasional! v refers to Ait "humble origin," and that he was but a short while fince an unsuccessful aspirant for the post of U. S. Senator, it will strike the reader that the parts of the extract from the Journal, which we have italicized, are intended as borne thrusts at our neighbor, and we insist that it is .excessively cruel in ths Journal to be so satirical on Citizen II olden. - Farther on in the same article, the Journal says : "The Standard aks us. bow we like Mr. Bu chanan's specifies, and Iju Pacific Railroad. The slightest reference to oar. columns will show that we don't like them at all, and have been prompt and decided in the expression of our dislike, ac companying; our publication of Mr. Buchanan's Mwa with Uui expression of our d'ssent from some rf iU rcvumraendaUons. If wtsAKhnt-imU our Democratic colemporarict had beem equally prompt ami derided." The last sentence is evidently intended for Citizen Ilolden, and he deserves it, for he Is always particularly dumb on any subject of public interest while he thinks there is the least danger of jeopardizing his private inter est ; but when there is1 no danger, he is as bold as a lion. So we say to the Journal, hit him again, and make him speak oat on 4,Mr. Buchanan's specifics, and his Pacific Rail road... ' ' Thi Goldsbobc TuiBCJfa. The edito-' rial control and proprietorship of this paper has undergone several changes lately.

These cheering indi cations, it should be added, are not confined t" the South. The Opposition came together very quiet ly in little Rhode Island, the other day, and had no difficulty in agreeing to extend a cordial sup port to one and the same Candidate for Governor. 'This was an eminently national proceeding, and its salutary influences, ere long, must tell favora bly upon the action of the rest of New England. In. Nev Jersey, the Opposition may be said to be united already ; and in Pennsylvnia, we have the impression that no matter what the leaders, or the dictators, or the political machine-menj or all of them together.may do, or think the people at large are strongly inclined, not only to sympa thize with the movement so nobly begun in ir giniaand Kentucky, but to do their full part, when the proper time eomea, to insure ,its trium phant success. There may be differences and dis agreement upon minor points and upon local ques tions; but there is not, and there ought not to be, any difference whatsoever as to the necessity of re cuing the country from the mildew of Leoomp ton Democracy, with its sectional teats, tyrannical proscription, and imbecile financial policy, at homa, and its military protectorates, Ob tend roan ifetoe&, and thirty million humbugs, abroad. With such a starting point as this, the rest of the journey ought not to be, and if the political machine-men are but kept otf the track will not be a hard road to travL As Honest CoNKseio Senator Toombs, with all his errors, is a bold man and sometimes says what U not agreeable to his political asaociatns. In his late speech on the revenue question, he thus spoke of the wastefulness of the National Admin iatraMoq : , " Your impropriations for pavy yards have gone to the building of hou-e for rjfice-g and the mak ing of flowr-poU and all that sort of thing, at a onttof $2,000,000; and it will be no less as long as. you wiir puy jt, but will go up to $4,000,000, if you d not stop it. There are $2,000,000 that you have no need for at all. Y'ou have 8,000 sailors t man jour nvy. You have not in crensed thin of late years, and you now have 8,000 men in your navy yards to help them civilians. You have carried their number up from 3.000 to 8000. You have eight navy yards. England has 550 ships, : and she has two navy ;yrls. You have ; eight convenienlty located all abmt the country, and it is a cue of reproach to good Democrats for the enemy to say we keep people' there to cheat them in elections ; and, a Gwi is tny Judge, J am aj 'raid ttere is something in it." I J"At the last general mei-ting of Ihe Atlantic Telegraph Company in London, an offer was an nounced from th J British Government of a guar antee of eight per cent, on t!00,000. The condi tions on which this proposition is based have not been made public ; but they do not involve the concession of special rights to the Government. The company have now gained, all the have been struggling for, and by the end of August will in all probability, be in a position to go to work with the improved cable which they have been planning. Four months will amply suffice to manufacture the q-iantity they will require, and to make all the preliminary arrangements for laying it. With the experience they have gain- ed in their previous efforts, and the additional mechanical impovements which they will bring to bear on tbh freth experiment, there can be no reasonable doubt of its success. Some people are of opinion that now the guarantee is obtained from the British Government the old cable will begin ' to work again.
